PP I don't post very often and certainly ignore many posts by many people, not just yours. I don't let forum or other online stuff get to me that much any more. And I appreciate you need to vent on here. But if you get yourself riled all the time and are antagonistic, you can put yourself at risk. And it can long term up and up your stress levels. You can chose to of course ignore my point and not take it on board. Your prerogative. But when you post on a public forum, you got to respect and allow others to post their viewpoints. Even if you don't agree with me, I wanna point out the risks of what you are doing to others reading it, especially those new to this work, to make them aware that it can be risky to have a short fuse with guys being kinda in the public eye and potentially vulnerable if someone takes umbrage and decides to go after you. It's so easy to get new Sim cards and new email accounts etc.
For every short term satisfaction of telling someone to F... off or other aggressive interaction with someone contacting you, you are potentially risking some vendetta were you got more to loose in terms of business, peace of mind etc than just perhaps try to not let these guys get to you. It's frustrating and of course can wind you up and make you tense. I wasn't being sarky when I suggested finding an outlet for all that pent-up aggression. Maybe kick box or do whatever, kick a pillow. Sooner or later you risk getting into a slanging match with some real nutcase. I am not a meek scared person btw just feel it's wiser to make working as safe as possible. And that includes not antagonising people wherever possible. The price offered or charged is totally irrelevant. It's about how you react or better still don't even respond to it. I don't do half hours and charge more because I have built up some regulars prepared to pay it. And of course some guys baulk at my prices. I let it bounce off me and few seconds later it's forgotten. Totally agree yet again with Bibi, don't answer the phone at stupid o'clock if it winds you up. Most of us see it as a daytime job but many people still think of it as "ladies of the night". If you have the phone switched off on silent or turned off, then they can't disturb you.
